The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction will start a review of academic standards in English language arts and physical education. The process begins with the State Superintendent's Standards Review Council soliciting public input on each set of standards to determine the need for revisions.
Surveys will be open for public comment starting on July 9 and close on August 30. Once the surveys close, the State Superintendent’s Standards Review Council will examine the public comments and submit a recommendation to the state superintendent on perceived needs for revising the English language arts and physical education standards.
The State Superintendent authorizes whether or not to pursue a revision or development process. If there is a recommendation to revise and the superintendent agrees, standards writing committees will be convened in the fall. A formal rewrite of the standards would undergo additional public review before adoption.
